Parent is right... I know of some who think this is a big improvement, but they don't realize the dark side of it.
The thing that I try and tell them is that although you can look at your previous searches now... think of the information google and other search engines are getting from this.
What is scary for me is that how many people just put in their names for their google accounts etc. Before they could collect your search results and tie it to a computer, now they know who you are.
As its been covered before many sites collect information, many try and assocate it with a name.
Now of course, some thing its going overboard etc but would you really want your searches assocated with your name (providing you used that to sign up), your email (gmail)?
Who knows, I'll probably be modded down or marked as a troll.
